How Interactive Whiteboards Are Revolutionizing Board Meetings

One
of the rapidly growing concerns of businesses everywhere today is the
increasing productivity gap in the per hour output of employees. However, if
you think about it, productivity requires value and not just speed.

While
you can help your employees work efficiently, improving the quality of work is
entirely up to them. One primary target for improvement is the meeting in which
a lot of stress is involved in the planning. And it is amplified on remote
calls where it becomes difficult to keep track of ideas.

This
is where new technologies like interactive
whiteboards,
or IWB, come into play. For a very long time, a face-to-face discussion
constituted a meeting; but in modern work places, phone calls, emails, video
conferencing, and chat tools bring together people from different locations
across the world. A remote session using an IWB is the natural evolution of the
real face-to-face discussion. It can edit, create, finalise, and share
documents while seeing and speaking with fellow attendees.

However,
all these methods do run into difficulties in scale. The pain of a conference
call is known to all when too many parties are involved. Similarly, the actual
strengths of face-to-face knowledge sharing can't be captured in these methods.

The
main functionality of IWB is bringing remote meetings to life. They enable the
presenter to share, discuss, and annotate multiple documents in real time. The
attendees can even receive and update files before the meeting is over and the
presenter can send an email directly from the board.

The
most robust business in the industry is built on relationships, and it's
becoming truer every day. The business leaders must embrace modern technologies
in work places, yet preserve teamwork and the collaborative spirit. So, regular
contact must be maintained for the sense of unity and collective spirit. Face
to face interaction is essential. And interactive whiteboards allow
international and decentralised business in the world to come together.
